The recent controversy about the Rama Setu has offered an opportunity to certain individuals to question even the historicity of Rama. Their approach is quite ingenious. If the very existence of Rama as a real-life person is denied, the question of there having been a Setu associated with him automatically does not arise. In this context, one can’t help quoting the learned Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu who recently raised two very interesting questions, namely “Who is this Rama?” and “From which engineering college did he graduate?” This booklet seeks to present archaeological facts, nothing but hard facts, in regard to the three more or less allied topics, viz. : (i) `Was Rama a figment of the imagination of poet called Valmiki, or is there any evidence to suggest that he may have been a historical figure?`; (ii) `Was there a temple in the Jama-Bhumi area at Ayodhya, prior to the construction the Babari Mnsjid?`; and (iii) `What are the `credentials` of Rama Setu
